The urine output is measured to assess the kidneys status. It is also measured to know the ratio of fluid intake and fluid lost in urine.

The method to measure is simple. The urine is made in a measuring bag and when it gets filled up, discarded and another bag is attached. The person can be catheterized or if fit he/she can make urine directly in measuring utensil.
